One of the nicer wood bookmarks I have. The art in these is keeping them thin enough to be functional.

Alice Munro died this week. I know I have some Munro bookmarks, but couldn’t locate them in storage. I’m still getting my collection organized. So this bookmark promoting Pedro Almodóvar’s Julieta, a 2016 adaptation of some of the stories in Runaway, will have to do.

These leather bookmarks you get at touristy spots used to be very popular. I’m not sure if they still are. I got a lot of them back in the 1970s in the UK. This one I got at the Halifax Citadel, which is a neat place to visit.
